"Zhao Chenghuang next to him..." Fang Chang recalled a little, and smiled and said, "I know him. He had met once, but he was not in the territory of Long'an Mansion."

"Mr. Fang is right." said Xie Guang'an of Tudi, "Although Zhao Chenghuang's jurisdiction does not belong to Long'an Mansion, it is next to me and is not separated from other jurisdictions, so it is quite convenient to get around."

…………

There are many people coming and going in the noisy market.

Some support the elderly and the young, some are alone; some carry bamboo baskets, some carry shoulder poles; some embroidered clothes, hairpins, and some are covered with patches... all kinds of hawking, chatting, quarrels, donkeys and mules, noisy and disturbing.

There were two young men wearing short shirts and open arms, carrying a slider in the market.

The body on the slide rod is very wide, which makes the slide rod bear more weight. The bamboo poles on both sides of the chair are bent and creaking in a normal posture. Fortunately, the two young men carrying the slide rod have already adapted to this situation and are at ease to deal with it. They have tightened their lips and stood upright, and slowly walked forward with a unified pace.

Some of the things that are noticeable are outside the Jinyiman sitting on the slide rod, with his legs on his right in an abnormal position, as if he was tangled with legs. There is a middle-aged housekeeper next to him, walking along with the slide rod. The speed of the slide rod is not fast, so it is not difficult for him to follow closely.

"Extraordinary, it will take half an hour to arrive. Should I find a place to rest first? Wait until the sun is not so strong before rushing." said the butler next to me.

"Yes." said the Jinyi Shiwai, "and go to find a teahouse in front to rest."

So the housekeeper issued an order to let the two young people carrying the slide rod go in a direction. Because the reward was abundant, the housekeeper was dedicated enough and had long been memorized by the journey here.

As a result, before walking a few steps, Jinyi Man suddenly called out to the people around him.

"Oh? Stop, stop, stop, stop for a while."

When the butler heard him say this, he immediately began to yell at the two hired workers who were carrying the slide rod: "Stop, stop, stop first." The two young men stopped immediately, but they still stood upright, and then the butler turned his head and looked at the Jinyi Man above, waiting for the order.

The official hesitated for a while, raised his hand and pointed it in a diagonal direction, and said to the people around him:

"Over there, let's chase after us, please hurry up."

The two hired workers carrying the slide rod did not speak, but immediately turned the direction tacitly and took a step forward.

The reason why Jinyi Man Wai reacted was because he just saw a familiar figure.

He was poor at the time and had no choice but to be a beggar on the street, pretending to be having problems with his legs. He was really invisible to see that kind of life, and his heart was always filled with dullness, even if there was sunshine in the corners of the street anytime and anywhere. Even so, he had a small plan, that is, to save some money to open a small stall.

This was a "very lofty ideal" for an old beggar, but he still kept this small dream.

Until one day, he met a man in white and went over to him and put a piece of silver in front of him. At that time, he thought he was going to work hard, but the other party just asked him if he saw a man with a thunderbolt face. Of course, the official saw clearly at that time that there was not a person in the clothes, but a white-haired monkey. For the sake of the money, he reported it to the truth.

Later, he cleaned himself, opened a small stall, and sold some food. Then he was always lucky, and slowly saved up the family business and developed, and had children. Now he owned several stores, but I don’t know if he was so hurt by an accident that he pretended to be a disabled person and asked for too much money. He was always carried on the way.

He never missed the man in white who changed his life back then, but never saw him again. Until just now, he suddenly saw someone diagonally opposite him, wearing white clothes, carrying a long sword and a blue cloth, just as he saw him back then, so he immediately stared at him.

Although the Jinyi Man Wai is not young, he has a good look and can see the face of the man in white. Yes, it is the person who looked like that man back then, plus the long sword, the package, the white clothes, and the gourd around his waist. But he hesitated for a while, because after so many years, the person's face has not changed at all.

The slide rod quickly chased the alley, but when he arrived, he found that there was no trace of that person!

The Jinyi Man sat outside the slide rod and walked around the alley in disappointment, asked around, and went into the City God Temple at the other end of the alley, but found nothing.

He felt sad, so he said to the butler: "Forget it, go to the tavern in the west of the city."

The housekeeper said curiously: "Who is the person you are looking for? Also, aren't you going to visit Mr. Zhao's house?"

Mr. Jinyi shook his head: "I am just a benefactor of that year. I haven't seen each other again for so many years. Maybe I just don't have the fate. Mr. Zhao's family is no longer there. Today I am a little sad. Go to the bar."

The butler did not hesitate to implement the decision of the extras, and he was very professional in this regard.

So the slide rod crunched towards the west of the city.

There were a lot of people in the tavern, so it was very noisy. When I saw Jinyi Man coming in, the shopkeeper of the tavern immediately walked out from behind the counter and greeted him, "Mr. Guo, you are here, please come inside, please, the table next to the window is always kept... Should I have a meal or a drink today?"

It turns out that this tavern is also a business in the canteen.

Mr. Guo is a regular visitor here. He greeted the housekeeper and two young men carrying slide rods to take a seat, and then greeted the shopkeeper: "Today we have to drink first and then eat, as usual, as long as there is something to eat, as long as it is not dumplings."

"That's natural, Mr. Guo is waiting for it." The shopkeeper naturally remembered the preferences of the regular customer. He immediately cut a plate of meat, then put a plate of heavy salt cooked dishes and a plate of braised tofu, and served it with two corners of cheap wine.

The housekeeper poured wine for several people, and then waited for Mr. Guo to move the chopsticks before picking up the chopsticks to eat and drink together.

The two hired workers who carried sliders next to him were very happy to drink wine, but they were afraid of misleading things and did not dare to drink too much. They only took tofu and cooked vegetables, and refused to use chopsticks to the meat. Mr. Guo was not surprised at all, not to mention that he was in a bad mood and just drank and ate meat on his own.

After drinking, Mr. Guo soon started to talk more.

The shopkeeper next to him brought a few bowls of noodles and placed them on the table. Mr. Guo looked at it, suddenly sighed, held the wine glass, and said half sighing to the butler half sighing to himself: "I have lived so old, and I am very convinced that I cannot forget my roots, so I always remember who has ever had kindness to me."
